nice man, love your playing, jams and covers

"Ima get tranced out so hard my people are starting to speak a different dialect" wasn't on my bingo card for today --apocryphal but attributed to Thingol Lol

downloading IS now turned on for The Great March btw

Amazing theme, probably ma favorite I've heard from you.

Amateurish stuff about the Silmarillion, no intent to infringe JRRT

Performed by myself in December of 2022 onward on a Roland FA-08 from memory by ear with no sheet music, as one track with 2 hands.

Silmarillion Stuff

Amateurish stuff about the Silmarillion, no intent to infringe JRRT

Performed by myself in December of 2022 on a Roland FA-08 from memory by ear with no sheet music, as one track with 2 hands.  Original composition, but not monetizing this because I dont wan't New Line or Tolkien Estate to come crush me.
Finrod+Galadriel has to do with the passage in the Silmarillion where Finrod tells Galadriel things are about to go badly.
The following paraphrase:
"Now Finrod Felagund had no wife, and Galadriel asked why this should be."
"And Finrod answered: 'An oath I too must swear, and be free to fulfill it, and go into darkness.  Nor shall anything of my realm endure that a son should inherit.' 
"

FINROD+GALADRIEL

Amateurish stuff about the Silmarillion, no intent to infringe JRRT


The refrain follows the first four lines of the poem of the Eärendillinwë that Frodo heard when he walked off for a minute during the evening in Rivendell and suddenly heard Elvish voices chanting.  The remainder of the piece is intended to shift into sort of a theme of the Silmarillion overall (sort of a cinematic theme) and doesn't follow the rest of poem's words.
Sharp listeners will note a few influences:

1) the spots where it seems to pause are the short bit of music when Aragorn tries to give back the Evenstar to Arwen, shortly after the halfway point of the Two Towers movie (when we had discs it was a minute or 2 into the 2nd disc after Eowyn gives Aragorn the rabbit stew ("The Evenstar does not wax or wane...").  With a triumphal major-key phrase-ending intended for Beren & Luthien that differs from the Two Towers phrase.

2) a few places I borrow from the Returner's Hideout theme in Final Fantasy 6.

Eärendillinwë 2022 06 13 Rough

Quick spitting over an aggressive industrial beat. Official dropping soon

ł₦₮ɆⱤⱫØ₦Ɇ fᏞᎥᏢ (Demo/Freestyle)

Ya Ok

Cielo

I didn't intend a sad song, just a emotional touch in the music that this time should be more affordable. Usually my compositions are more experimental, this time is more predictable as she would had like it. Despite she was actually a very old person, after she left appears a blank and eventually a absence feeling.

Absence

A new version of the Eärendillinwë  that I earlier released 10 months ago, but
in pure piano form, so that people can hear the chord structure
better, with a more relaxed pace where I could put the
phrases that were missing from the first one.

When I recorded in summer 2022 I had the metronome click
on and felt rushed for time - this version puts some good
things back into it.  Those with a good ear for cinematic
music will note that I am borrowing the ending phrase partly
from a scene in Richard III (1955) with Laurence Olivier.
Those who don't know it - go watch the movie.  You'll instantly
recognize where I pulled this from.

All rights reserved to the Tolkien Estate and whoever currently
holds the music rights to the Richard III movie.  This is very
pointedly a non-monetized, free track.  Just as the earlier version.

Eärendillinwë (Piano, Alternate Phrases)

video here ↙
https://youtu.be/6mxOVJZkKC4

Prying open carefully, caught up by the stone canyons deep ingrown
A miniscule distraction please, there's nowhere to jump off
You started the clock, saturating bones
Flying tattered wings, a million trivial nothings
A fairytale of flame and magical insane
Combustible reality, when everything can suddenly explode
Radioactive glow

Guess I am the patient, tied neat in disarray
Falling down the dangers I've unlocked the vault of pain
May I be abrasive?
A needle in the vein

Like kerosene emotions, a fire in the eye
A stumbling block of mine
Living somewhere comfortably
There's no such thing as home
Anonymous, unknown
Call me crazy, maybe so
I guess we'll never know if I can be set free from all the chains prohibiting me
Can we be dead?
Maybe we really can be... maybe we really can be dead

Guess I must be patient, inventing up a ghost
While hanging on the mountainside of what scares you the most
Suddenly it's hard to breathe...
I'm gasping now for air...
This may take a while, but I'll handle with care
Guess I was too patient, inventing up a ghost
While falling off the mountainside of what scares me the most
You make it so hard to breathe...
I'm gasping out for air...
You hurt me then smile
Yet I handled with care

So Mote It Be

Volatile 2 (You Make It So Hard To Breathe)

The Fregoli Delusion is the belief that multiple people are all the same person wearing disguises or changing appearance.

The syndrome may be related to a brain lesion. 

A person suffering from the Fregoli delusion may misremember locations, things, and situations.  Any face at all resembling someone the patient knows, the patient may impose it.

Similar to Capgras delusion, it seems to be a physical problem with facial perception at the core. 

Lyrics

Who.
Why are you everyone around me?
Why are you everyone today?
You are him. 
You are her.
Put your mask away.
I don't want to play.
Hey, not today.

This track is not monetized.
All rights reserved to the Tolkien Estate, New Line, etc, whoever holds all the Tolkien rights.  Completely free track.  Enjoy

A little very-to-the-point thing about the midsummer morning when forces lined up for the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.

IYKYK
if you dont check this
https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Nirnaeth_Arnoediad

or the old fashioned way, is to find the pertinent chapter "Of The Fifth Battle..."  in the Silmarillion

Looking around soundcloud...
A bunch of other metal things go into the main course of the battle.
This here is more of a study of when they were initially hopeful at the start.
(Whereupon anyone else's main battle stuff, is completely valid following this thing, more power to that)

Sharp observers will notice phrases re-used from the two different versions of Earendillinwe in my track list, it is encouraged to also check those out (and the track notes of both).

The Great March

Thingol goes missing and meets Melian and say what the heck DID Melian do to him to stick him immobile for a hundred years and then hey I'm fine guys nothing's wrong I'm ready to run Doriath and be Lord of Beleriand.

Thingol and Melian

Life Under The Sun

Earth Legion

EVEN WORDS HAVE A PLACE IN MY SOUL

Lyrics
A little shoulder shrug
After you pulled the rug
Unconditional love
Was just not enough
I won’t stay blue
Though you want me to
Can’t help but shrug
And take the road above
‘Cause that’s not love

(Chorus)
Feelings they float away on a gentle wave
Felt my heart break but I’m glad you didn’t stay
All my wasted cries, I toss them to the side
In a glass bottle with an ocean view

A little shoulder dance
I never got the chance
To live and groove
You didn’t want me to
Walkin’ bare feet 
To my happy beat
Can’t help but dance 
On this perfect sand
And I know you can’t stand that

(Chorus)

The sun rises on my freedom day
You thought I’d crumble 
But what can I say?
You can’t keep me down

(Chorus)

Glass Bottle With An Ocean View

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.

Thingol and Melian
